WARRIOR'S
LADY
by
Gerri Russell
For the medieval
lover who cherishes both history
and the mythical, magical medieval world
After seeing his
brother James killed by a blade with clan markings,
Camden Lockhart swears revenge on the entire Ruthven clan. In a moment
of impulsiveness, Camden hires a man to do just that! Rhiannon Ruthven
escapes the brutality of her brothers by escaping to an abbey but
Mother Agnes has another plan for her. In a desperate attempt to
capture the celebrated Charm Stone to increase his power, the
Archbishop had accused Violet's mother of witchcraft. Without James or
Camden to intervene, Clara handed over Violet and the celebrated Charm
Stone to Mother Agnes. Now in an effort to protect the Charm Stone and
keep Violet safe, Mother Agnes charges Rhiannon with the duty as
Violet's protector on a perilous journey to the Ruthven castle. Having
vowed vengeance on all Ruthvens, Camden is shocked to discover a female
Ruthven right at his doorstep. Honor demands that he protect her but
little does he realize all the forces at play who wish to destroy her.
As Camden discovers Rhiannon's skill, determination and heart all
focused on protecting Violet, to the point of risking her life for
others, Rhiannon's spirit transforms the heart of this a warrior, a man
almost destroyed by his lust for vengeance. Can he protect her from the
killer he hired and those wishing to possess the healing powers of the
Charm Stone? Can the Charm Stone unite the Ruthvens and the Lockharts
with love?
In WARRIOR'S LADY, the third
in her Scottish Stones of Destiny
series, Gerri Russell creates a passionate medieval tale of love,
danger, and legend all together with a twist of paranormal power.
Rhiannon is a wounded soul, a woman who feels herself alone and
unwanted and yet her heart is all goodness. Her love for Violet and
indeed for Camden fills her with an inner strength, rather allowing it
to surface even in the most dangerous moments. She will do everything
within her power to protect Violet and teach her how to stand up and
protect herself. Camden is a warrior, a man ruled by intense emotion
and yet when everyone else in his castle resents Rhiannon, Camden's
fairness and integrity shine forth. Gerri Russell creates a stunning
portrait of her villains that fills this romance with exciting,
suspenseful drama as the archbishop and his mother scheme and plot. In
an unexpected way, even their story moved this reader. I found myself
craving justice for all their misdeeds and yet, Gerri Russell created
in them a multi-dimensional portrait from which I easily understood
their motivations. Gerri Russell has a gift for peering into the hearts
of all her characters and placing them within adventures that keep
readers locked into captivating drama.
Gerri Russell, winner of the American Title contest, finishes this
wonderful series with a masterstroke. A new fresh, powerful voice
within the genre, Gerri Russell is an author for the medieval lover who
cherishes both history and the mythical, magical medieval world. With a
paranormal aspect taken from medieval history, the legendary Lee Penny,
WARRIOR'S LADY
takes the reader right into the medieval period with its
legends and conflicts and above all with a hero and heroine whose
hearts heal one another with a power just as great as the Charm Stone
itself. Combining action, dynamic conflicts and depth of emotion, WARRIOR'S LADY is
an impelling tale of medieval love and freedom. WARRIOR'S LADY
grabs from the initial prologue and doesn't let go until
the last page. This reader would relish the expansion of the this
captivating series beyond a trilogy!

Book Description:
Camden Lockhart vowed to eliminate the
Ruthven
clan after they had destroyed his family. All he had left was a
small
niece and the legacy of the Charm Stone she carried, but no one knew
where the little girl was.
Rhiannon Ruthven
came to the abbey to escape the brutality of her
brothers and find solace. Instead she found the orphaned Violet
Lockhart in need of an escort to her uncle’s castle. Rhiannon didn’t
know it, but she would be walking straight into a nest of assassins.
Watching Rhiannon
nearly sacrifice her own life to save another’s,
Camden knew he could not condemn her to death. He’d have to protect her
from the very men he’d hired to kill her. Scottish legend said the
Charm Stone had the power to heal, but was it strong enough to unite
two wounded hearts?
